Mississippi Mud Pie – A Decadent Chocolate Lover’s Dream

00This Mississippi Mud Pie is a chocolate lover's paradise, made with three indulgent layers of chocolate, all atop a rich Oreo crust. The layers start with a fudgy brownie base, followed by a creamy chocolate mousse, and finished off with a crispy, sweet cookie crumble topping. Each layer complements the next, creating a perfect balance of rich, creamy, and crunchy textures. The pie is a labor of love, best enjoyed on special occasions or whenever you need a truly decadent dessert. If you want to lighten the sweetness, you can reduce the sugar slightly or opt for a less rich mousse layer.
